The first plot involved 25-year-old man identified as Tristan Scott Wix, of Daytona Beach who repeatedly texted threatening messages to his ex-girlfriend about how he wanted to open fire on a "large crowd" of people and how he wanted to break a world record for "longest confirmed kill ever." Wix wrote that he already had a location in mind and wanted a high kill count.

"A good 100 kills would be nice," Wix allegedly wrote in message.

Wix was arrested by the Volusia County Sheriff's Office in a Winn-Dixie parking lot in Daytona Beach Shores, on Friday, authorities said, posting video of the arrest to their Facebook page.

The 25-year-old wrote he wanted to die during the shooting and "have fun doing it."

“Ah well even if you told someone, me saying I wanna do it and think about it is not the same as actually doing it lol. Was kinda hoping someone would come into my life worth not doing it for, for the sake of all those people (laughing cry face emoji). I’m not crazy I just wanna die and I wanna have fun doing it, but I’m the most patient person in the world,” Wix wrote in another message.

Wix told detectives he doesn't own any weapons, but admitted to being fascinated with mass shootings.

The suspect was taken to the Volusia County Branch Jail where he's currently being held without bond. Wix has been charged with making threats to commit a mass shooting.

Authorities in Ohio say they have arrested a 20-year-old man identified as James Patrick Reardon for allegedly threatening to carry out a mass shooting at a Jewish community center in Youngstown, Ohio.

According to New Middletown Police Chief Vincent D'Egidio, authorities learned of Reardon's plans after an Instagram account that purportedly belongs to the suspect shared a video of a man firing a gun. The post tagging the Jewish Community Center in Youngstown. A caption on the post read: "Police identified the Youngstown Jewish Family Community shooter as local white nationalist Seamus O'Rearedon." Seamus O'Rearedon is a Gaelic spelling of Reardon's name.

It's unclear who is firing the weapon in the Instagram post. The rest of the suspect's Instagram account was filled with images of Reardon shooting or someone else shooting guns. Several anti-Semitic comments and white nationalist content was also posted to the account.

Police tracked Reardon down and executed a search warrant at his home in Youngstown around 10:30 p.m. Friday night. Police discovered a cache of weapons and ammunition.

Reardon was arrested and booked into the county jail with a bond set at $250,000. Reardon is scheduled to be arraigned on Monday morning.
